@graphito "just hire someone" is not really a valid thing here though for smaller sites, the article framing was poor given how heavy their site is but the issue behind it does exist

@gamingonlinux @graphito It is an issue, especially for self-hosters. I enjoy watching all the victim blaming and denigration that goes along with it, because people pointing out issues with an open source protocol _must_ mean they want to wall garden the entire internet.

I admit, similar approach might be justified for small websites (1-2 people) who cannot have budget to deal with technical problems

But surely #itsfoss have the budget to deal with tech. Instead they turned to public activism to save a bit of it.

Why not publish the tech description on freelancer sites and have the patch submitted by monday for $300?

Turns out, to rile up the audience and instance admins is simply cheaper 😳
